Infanta Margarita of Spain (1610–1617)
Margarita of Spain (25 May 1610 - 11 March 1617) was an infanta of Spain, who died in childhood.[ 1]
Life
Margarita was the seventh child of the marriage between Philip III and Margaret of Austria and the fourth of their daughters, after Ana , María and María Ana .[ 2]
She was born in Lerma , capital of the states of the valido of her father, the Duke of Lerma , while was still in his privileged position.[ 3] On 10 June 1610, the feast of Corpus Christi, she was baptized in Valladolid Cathedral by the archbishop of Toledo , Bernardo de Sandoval . Her godparents were her older sister, the Infanta Ana Mauricia and the Duke of Lerma himself. In honor of this last godfather, she received Francisca as a middle name.[ 4] [ 5] She was carried to the baptismal font by her baptismal godfather.[ Note 1] [ 6]
At the age of six she could already write and read the catechism. She was fond of pious practices.[ 7]
She died in the Royal Alcázar of Madrid at the age of 6 years.[ 1] She was taken with the usual pomp to the monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial .[ 8] [ 9] She is buried in the ninth chamber of the Panteón of Infantes , under the following epitaph:[ 10]
Non moriar sed vivam et narrabo opera Domini (Sal 117, 17)
Notes
^ In Spanish royal baptisms, this honour of bringing the newborn to the baptismal font was second in importance only to the one of being godparent.
